Ok, so I will let you know that I am actually pretty excited right now. One of the biggest foods trending right now has to be sweet potato toast, and it is just too darn good. If you have yet to try these vibrant orange toasted goodness – you don’t know what your missing!

The basis is simple, swap your regular slice of bread for sweet potato, and toast until lightly brown. Top with avocado, nut butters, eggs, fruit, or whatever your heart desires. If you’ve been on Instagram lately, I am sure you have seen the many beautiful pictures showcasing this delicious trend.

But whats the hype? Well, let me tell you that the slices of sweet potato offer less calories than regular bread, and are also naturally sweetened offering a delicious taste without adding extra sugar and calories through jam and jellys.

The vibrant orange color of sweet potatoes also showcases it’s high vitamin A content. Vitamin A is a fat soluble vitamin important for sight, our immune system, and reproduction.

Although there are many, many ways to eat this delicious trend, I’m showcasing you my three top favorites. And they are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!

To begin, wash a sweet potato and lightly brush to remove any excess dirt or debris. Cut into 1/4 inch slices. Place in a toaster for about 3-4 rounds, or until soft and lightly brown. Remove from toaster and add the toppings below.
